[TenTec] Eagle minor woes

[Michael Tortorella]

Rick, I didn't think so either.  Firmware is 2.001.  It has the AT and the
300 Hz filter.

It's not normal for the Eagle to do that.
What firmware revision are you running on the Eagle?

Folks, I ran my Eagle for about 16 hours straight in the IARU contest
yesterday and as the hours wore on it got warmer with the fan coming on more
often.  Of course here it is doing exactly what it is supposed to.  What I
did notice is that towards the end, it began to lock up (tuning dial had no
effect, would not transmit).  I was able in each case to bring it back to
life by power cycling with a brief off period, but of course that sends the
COM port in the laptop into never never land and it took several gyrations
with enabling/disabling/enabling the port, pulling an reinserting cables,
more power cycling, etc., to get the radio to talk to he PC again (N1MM+
logger, about which I can't say enough nice things). Anyway, sort of under
the heading of first world problems, what's the list wisdom on why the Eagle
is going kind of brain dead now and then, apparently when warm?  Is this
"normal" behavior, "to be expected" of a complex hardware/software system,
or is there really a cause we should be looking for?  Thanks for your
thoughts and 73, Mike W2IY
